As for performance not boosting properly, at least on the 5960x, the CPU only goes into turbo once there's mild load. If your system is actually idle, it tends to run the cores below boost frequencies (max frequency without boost). This behavior might be different on AMD processors.
And as for hitting single core boosts with MuQSS, that's probably nearly impossible. MuQSS aggressively hits deadlines at a cost of migrating threads between cores. You would need to configure ondemand to aggressively ramp frequency up at lower core utilization to hit single core boosts, but this would destroy battery life for laptops.
I think the right way forward (if you want to use MuQSS), is to look into why boosting performs so much worse on Ryzen over any modern Intel processor. My theory is just lack of attention since Ryzen processors are relatively new and most people don't run the performance governor to even notice.
